Title:
  i40e bug: non physical MAC outbound frames appear as copied back
  inbound  (mirrored)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux-lts-vivid package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  In Progress
Status in linux-lts-vivid source package in Vivid:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using 3.19.0-28-generic #30~14.04.1-Ubuntu with stock i40e
  driver version 2.2.2-k makes every 'non physical' MAC output
  frame appear as copied back at input, as if the switch was
  doing frame 'mirroring' (and/or hair-pinning).

  FYI same setup, with i40e upgraded to 1.2.48 from
  http://downloadmirror.intel.com/25282/eng/i40e-1.2.48.tar.gz
  behaves OK, fyi also we did a port mirroring setup at
  the switch directed to a different physical port for debugging,
  and didn't observe these frames to be physically present.

  See tcpdump -P in/out and more details at
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12511680/
